Abstract

A flexible plastic thermally conductive multilayer semiconductor mounting pad having a highly thermally conductive bulk layer with thermally conductive surface skin layers bonded integrally to opposed major surfaces thereof. The bulk layer and the surface skin layers are each filled with a finely divided thermally conductive particulate, with the skin layers being harder than the bulk layer and being blended with an amount of filler which is less than that present in the bulk layer.
